Several states have indicated that returns with refunds could be delayed, and taxpayers could be required to provide more complete identification information, if a valid driver’s license or other form of photo ID is not included with the return.

To enter ID information in Drake Tax, from the Data Entry Menu, open the IDS screen.

• For taxpayers (and spouses) with a valid Driver's License or Other State-Issued Photo ID, enter the information in the top two sections of the screen.

• For taxpayers (and spouses) without a driver’s license or other form of state-issued photo ID, select the “Mark this box if taxpayer doesn't have a driver's license or a state-issued photo ID” check box.

• The option "Mark this box if the taxpayer did not provide a driver's license or state-issued photo ID" is available when needed to meet federal guidelines. See Drake Tax - 1040: EF Message 0500 - Missing ID Information for details on the federal error.

If the taxpayer has a NY state ID, the preparer will also need to open the PIN2 screen and enter the Document Number for the taxpayer (and spouse).

When entering the Issue Date or Expiration Date, you can enter either a 6-digit date (MMDDYY) or 8-digit date (MMDDYYYY) and the software will default the year to 20YY instead of 19YY.

The following table includes the information supplied by the states concerning any requirements for including photo ID information, and the possible consequences of not supplying such information. Links to the state website are provided where available.
